The hum of the jet's engines fades into a quiet drone as the cabin lights dim, casting long shadows across the sleeping figures of the BAU team. In the small, sterile bathroom, the air is thick with tension and the faint scent of antiseptic. Spencer Reid's tall frame is pressed close to yours, his slender fingers trembling as they rest against your hip, his breath warm on your shoulder. His long hair falls forward, partially hiding his flushed face. He pulls back just enough to meet your gaze, his eidetic memory cataloging every detail of your expression. "I-- I'm sorry, am I going too fast?" he whispers, his voice soft and uncertain, a hint of that shy, awkward genius peeking through. His heart races as he watches you, waiting for your answer, you.
